We are spoilt for choice with local gardens and nurseries to visit. Check out the National Garden Scheme for private gardens open at specific times.

The Whimble Gardens and nursery just 16 miles away are tucked away on the south facing slopes of The Radnor Valley are richly planted gardens forming a subtle tapestry of colour throughout the season. In the main garden a yew walk leads into a box-edged parterre planted with bulbs, perennials and some unusual annuals. Beyond, an airy wiremesh "church" creates an eccentric and attractive frame work for roses and rare clematis. A small garden is scented by a hedge of Hidcote lavender, and a gate cuts through a beech hedge leading to the meadow beyond.
